Emily from Hamburg, AR

I participate in clubs whenever there are meetings or go to movie nights with friends and go bowling in town.

Food and Dining

Each week the foods are changed from cultural aspects. Sometimes there'll be Italian food or Chinese food. It is great!

Dorm Life

I do not live on campus, however, I have heard from my friends that live on campus that dorm life is great. Don't stay up hanging out with friends for too long though.

Academic Rigor

Classes are not as hard as they seem as long as you pay attention. I have a 3.3 so far.

Tips for prospective students

Ask your professors for help if you need any. They do not bite and will not make fun of the questions you have. They are there to help.

In three sentences

University of Arkansas at Monticello is a great university in my opinion. There are many professors willing to help each and every student in need of help with their classes. Also, there are a great variety of groups and organizations available for the students here to help give the a better perspective of the major they are getting into which is helpful.

Morgan from Star City, AR

For fun there is always something going on with frats and sororities on campus. Off campus, there is a movie theater, a bowling alley, and a few shopping places as well as many restaurants.

Food and Dining

The Cafe was only open at certain times of the day and never seemed to be when I was hungry. But there are always several options available including vegetarian dishes.

Dorm Life

Dorm life isn't all that great to be honest. Unless you're likely to room with a friend you know or join a fraternity/sorority, it can be quite bland. However, they just started the slow process of renovating all the dorms on campus, and living on campus at UAM is still the cheapest in the state of Arkansas!

Academic Rigor

There are a handful of difficult classes, but the professors are willing to help as much as possible.

Tips for prospective students

Applying for housing early before high school graduation will help your chances of getting into the dorm hall you want. Also, make sure to attend early registration; it's less of a hassle and will help you get it out of the way to enjoy your last summer of high school!

In three sentences

UAM is overall a good school. The classes are small allowing the professors to get personal with the students and offer extra help. Also the faculty are very helpful and mostly understanding of student issues.

Tips for prospective students

Don't be afraid to ask your professors for help. That's what they're THERE for! And they're all very eager to make sure their students do their best.

UAM is very affordable. In fact, they set up their fees and tuition so that students getting federal/state funding can easily attend their school without going into major debt.

Am enjoying being here

The people at UAM are amazing. It's like a little family. I've never been in any classes quite like the ones I'm involved in for my major, where all the students intimately know each other and have each others' back.

Am learning a lot

I previously went to Henderson State University, and attending class, but didn't really learn anything, and had no incentive to, as the professors didn't really care whether or not I succeeded at their establishment. Professors at UAM, however, are quite dedicated to their students, and I've been very interested in what I'm learning and getting along better with my professors.
